Clones Town, County Monaghan, Ireland - Ireland Attractions
Clones Town County, Monaghan, Ireland - Doesn't it feel good to be back home? It can be amazing to bring back the memories from our childhood - sure we remember things every now and again, but you cannot beat actually walking the streets where you grew up for memories ( good and bad! to come flooding back ). Hence off to Clones, County Monaghan, Ireland, the town where I grew up.
For the few who do not know - Clones is a small town in western County Monaghan, Ireland. The Clones area was part of the Border Region which was earmarked for economic development by the Irish Government due to the current below average economic growth in the area. County Monaghan is on the border with County Fermanagh in Northern Ireland which brings its own advantages and challenges.
Walking through the town and seeing the old places which are still standing there, just about! :-)
During our walk of the town we came across a picture from 1843 for the Market House and it was amazing to see the buildings from the photo are still standing around the Diamond. Amazing.
On the Diamond we have the imposing buildings such as Ulster Bank - which sadly closed in 2016....to all the pubs, post office, credit union and more.
Checking out the tourist map, trying to decide in which direction we should go, we finally managed to go down to the Wee Abbey, just off the Diamond - a great stop for history buffs. The most imposing feature on the Diamond is the Celtic High Cross. Down the road towards Cavan, to the right - is the path to the Motte and Bailey Fort, a piece of ground showing where an old fort used to stand with an amazing view across the local area. Plenty of history here!!
Towards the bottom of Fermanagh Street is the Butter Yard and the relatively new statue of the children playing leapfrog. Pretty Nice!
Close to the Round Tower is the Ionad Cassandra Hand Centre where they used to make lace and was built in 1847, coming again to the Wee Abbey. Across the road from the Lace centre is the Round Tower and graveyard.
There are other towns which one could visit around the North of Ireland, such as Letterkenny in county Donegal ( there is also Bushmills Town which is found on the north coast of Ireland ( and you could visit Newcastle Co. Down which is a lovely place to go to if you like beaches! :-) (
Would love if you shared this video on your social media :-) Thank you!!
3 ways to experience food in Ireland
Looking for a food tour of Ireland? Kati and Blaze guide you through three ways to experience it: slow, quick, and adventurous—and always delicious! Start off with a quick sampling of different dishes at Belfast’s last surviving Victorian covered market, St George’s. An international foodie hub, it’s home to over 300 vendors, all focusing on local ingredients.
Next up: Slower, upscale dining at chef JP McMahon’s Aniar Restaurant. Recognized with a Michelin Star for the past five years, Aniar serves only farm-fresh ingredients and has become an institution in Galway.
Finally, check out a classic dish: black pudding. It’s a traditional farm food and a staple of an Irish breakfast. Kati tries some in Clonakilty, near Cork, and discovers it’s an amazing compliment to modern dishes.

Christmas Day Swim at Dublin's Forty Foot 2018
I made a return to Dublin's annual Christmas Day tradition of swimming in the Irish Sea, again this time at the Forty Foot in Sandycove.
It wasn't a bright and sunny day like in 2014: but it was a calm morning on the Irish Sea, by 10am there were already hundreds of people there and the place was pretty much full.
Last time I was filming on a Garmin VIRB, this time it's the GoPro Hero 7 Black, it is waterproof so no need for a special housing.
Two dips into the cold water, just like last time and plenty of footage of swimmers jumping in and the atmosphere in the Forty Foot on Christmas morning.
Overheard from a regular swimmer that it was colder than usual in the water, that might have been heightened by the high air temperature.
People swim at the Forty Foot and other places right around Ireland every day of the year, Christmas Day is when the big numbers come out and charities do some collecting for various good causes.
Enjoy the view.
